Great little motel.
This motel met my needs perfectly. The bed was comfortable, the maid service was provided daily, and both the water temperature and pressure were consistently good. It had a separate closet, which was a nice feature, though adding a door would have made it even better. The old dressing table was convenient for setting up coffee and storing food. Overall, it was a great little motel for the week!

While this is a basic hotel, I was impressed with the workmanship in the remodeled bathroom. I have not found better workmanship in more expensive hotels. For the price I could not expect more. The cleanliness was exeptional.

Easy in and out
We only stayed one night as we were on our way back home however, this hotel was located nicely in town where we could easily get down to the Embarcadero and see Morro Bay and not far from a very good restaurant whose menu look more like a diners called the hungry fisherman

You get what you pay for.
This is not an ocean view room. You can see a portion of the ocean from a corner window but don’t be fooled by the wording.

Close enough to walk to embarcadero but set back enough to be very quiet. I like it's a smaller property so less public traffic in and out
